Medical aesthetics, as a newly-emerged consumption sector, has been growing rapidly in recent years. Interestingly, men are found to be a rising consumption group of medical aesthetics.

近年来，医学美学作为一个新兴消费领域发展迅猛。有趣的是，男性成为这一领域不断增长的消费群体。

An iResearch report said in 2020, males accounted for 30 percent of China's medical aesthetics consumers. And they spent 7,025 yuan ($1,086) on average on medical aesthetics in 2019, 2.75 times of that of female consumers, according to the 2019 Medical Aesthetics White Paper by Soyoung.

艾瑞咨询（iResearch）的一份报告称，2020年，在中国的医美消费者中，男性占到30%。此外，医美服务品牌新氧（Soyoung）发布的《2019医美行业白皮书》亦显示，2019年，男性消费者在医美上的平均消费是7025元（1086美元），是女性消费者的2.75倍。

According to media reports, China is expected to become the world's largest cosmetic surgery market as its scale will exceed 400 billion yuan in the next five years.

据媒体报道，未来五年，中国有望成为全球最大的医疗美容市场，其规模将超4000亿元。

Cosmetic surgery industry has received a barrage of criticism after the recent death of an internet celebrity in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, following an operation to remove fatty tissue. 

近日，浙江杭州一名网红在抽脂手术后死亡，引发坊间对于医疗美容行业的猛烈批评。

Although it is a personal decision to go under the knife to look more beautiful, people should not ignore the dangers.

虽然整容纯属个人决定，但人们不应忽视其中的风险。
